Bug Description

Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.15-23-386-di

If I burn some files to blank DVD+R's using Gnome DVD Creator I can not mount the media upon completion. tail -f /var/log/messages gives the following error:

Aug 28 17:28:20 linux-laptop kernel: [4299663.918000] attempt to access beyond end of device

Is this a kernel problem or is my hardware broken. DVD drive is an HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-40 in an HP Pavillion Laptop.

Update: The media is burning OK and can be read in other computers (Windows), but it seems Ubuntu 6.06 is not mounting writable/re-writable media once burnt (it recognises blank media). Media that I burnt whilst I had Suse 10.1 on my laptop won't read either. However it seems to recognise original media (magazine coverdiscs) and writable/re-writable media burnt in other computers. I think my DVD drive is kaput. I'll try and close this bug. Sorry for bothering you.

Many thanks, Martin.

Is this possibly a duplicate of Bug #42023?

It sounds a lot like it...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you?

I don't think it is a problem with your DVD drive.
I believe Linux is making some tests that Windows don't do.
It would be most likely your DVD media not compatible, but I am not sure at all.
